CHICAGO, January "A Times Otta.
~, Ont, special says: A company Of
Canadian and English capitalists lately
formed for the purpose Of constructing .
line of cable between Vancouver in Brit.
ish Columbia and Australia, is vigor-
ously pushing on the work. Sanford
Fleming, the original promoter Of the
scheme, says the company has been
thoroughly organized and is now ready
to proceed with negotiations to begin
work. The company has applied to the
Imperial government for vessels to con.
duct soundings and other work from the
coast of Australia and the matter is now
under the consideration of the govern.
ment. Fleming thinks there will be no
difficulty in getting the Imperial gov.
ernment either to conduct the prelimi-
nary soundings or supply vessels neces-
nary for the work. Most encouraging
offers Of assistance in the way of subsi.
dies have been received from all the
government with whose territory 1t is
proposed to make connection and the
matter has at last been placed beyond
the possibility Of failure.

ATra9edy at sea.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 4.-The big
ship John Mcleod has just arrived ct
this port. Details of tragedy which
occurred on board the vessel during her
passage are learned. The vessel left st.
John. N. B., February l4th. last year.
On the morning of March 10th, the sec.
ond mate, named Atkinson, who, it is
alleged, is of o violent temper, beat q
Greek sailor named Antonio. The same
night Antonio stabbed Atkinson in the
abdomen. The Greek hid himself, and
the next morning was discovered aloft on
the fore.top gallant cross tree. He was
ordered down, but failed to obey. Cap.
tain Stuart knowing that Antonio was
armed, and fearing danger from him,
distributed firearms among the crew.
Seventy.five shots were fired at him and
he returned about forty. Finally he
was killed. The body was thrown over
board. At the same time Atkinson
died. When the vessel reached Shanghai.
where she was bound, an examination
was held and the Captain exonerated
from all blame.

TRpOvv~ tha Tv0aon


January l, 1888. the colony of Pasa-
dena had about 1900 population. Janu-
ary l, 1856, the city of Pasadena has
over 5000. It should be noted that the
area Of the city is much less than was
the colony.
F. A. Bailey, who has shown symp-
toms of crookedness during residence
here Of some months, finally blossomed
into . forger q few days ago, and be-
tween the rising and setting Of the snn
he stole away TO other chimes The de-
parture of few moro with similar symp-
toms would not be opposed by our citi-
Gems.
A painful accident occurred near the
bridge crossing the L. A. 4 3. G. v.
railroad cut at Raymond last Saturday.
Mark McGinnis, in haste te take the
street cars walked over the embankment
and fell to the track below. 1t was
very dark at the time and he was not
aware of being so near the embankmsnt.
His injuries were severe but not CON-
sidered dangerous. A railing on both
sides Of this cut may prevent . much
more serious mishap.
A young man. for short time in shs
employ of the Pioneer stables, was be-
fore Justice Gardner on Thursday
charged with theft. Upon examination
it was found that he had in his posssss.
ion watch and chain, suit Of clothes
and revolver that he stole some weeks
ago in Los Angeles while working In
Wickersham's livery stable. He was
held to answer to the charge of grand
larceny and sent to the county jail.
The election of q United States Ssna-
tor for California is one of the import.
auce issues that will engage the atten-
tion Of the Legislature. The candidates
are numerous and all urge claims Of fit-
ness for the highly important Office.
George Hearst is determined to get
there If msney il q winning power in
this case. But there are many who do
not want to see this rich man iu the
dignfied and honorable position becauss
| it is thought by some, even his own
party, that he is wholly unfit for ths
place. The voter who loves political
purity or desires to see q representative
in this high Office who can honor biz
great State will regret tho election Of
Hearst. 1t seems to ne that Southern
California should be recognized In this
choice. /. w. Hsllman L becoming =

cratic party has the choice it might 20
farther and fare worse than to choose

Morrow On the Chinese Evil.


WASHINGTON. January 4.-Represen-

people an idea of the evils of Chinese
immigration, on his recent trip to Bos.
ton and Waltham, as the guest Of the
Merchants Association. Two banquets
we're given by the association. one in
each city. and on both occasions Mr..
Morrow made strong anti Chinese
speeches. They were reported in the
newspape and have caused much com.
ment in New England. The Boston
Journal says editorially Of his speech:
Zone Of the most effective speeches at
the banquet of the Merchants' Associa.
tion was that of Representative Morrow
on the Chinese question. He put the
matter in new light for tho New Eng
land people. which is sure to hasten q
change of sentiment which has been 60
ing on in regard to Chinese immigration
for several years in the east"

Miss Caldwell, who gave $500, 900 to

will in . short time enter q Baltimore
convent to join the sisterhood. The
young lady became of age few days

Spaulding, of Peoria, ILL.,, and many
leading society people of the Federal
Capital. After dinner Mics Caldwell is
said to have announced to Cardinal
Gibbons her intention of giving up the
world. Such . course on the part Of
the young lady will probably result in
further benefactions to the Catholic
university, since it is customary for
those who enter religious orders to de-
vote their wealth, If they have any, to
some religious purpose. Miss Caldwell

New York, January IA Washing.
ton special to the Post says: A move.
ment is in progress among Southern men
who are in favor Of a reduction of the
surplus in the form of . combination by
which taxes upon fruit, brandy and to.
bacco and their manufactures shall be
abolished, and there is some expectation
That Randall will cooperate in this
scheme. It is also said by Democrats
who ought to know that Morrison, dur.
ing the holiday recess, has become con-
vinced that it will be expedient for him
to move again to consider the revenue
bills, and that it is not probable that he
will have larger vote than he had be-
fore. The fact that two New England
Republicans, nearly every interest of
whose constituents Is protected, voted
for Morrison's motion, it is a.
certained, had very considerable
effect upon Western Republicans, who,
while they have consistently voted with
the protectionists for projections sake,
have recently stated that if New Eng
land Congressmen can afford to break
rank upon this subject there il no reason
why Western men, the industries Of
whose sections are practically without
protection, should not also exercise
their independent judgment. A promi-
nent New England Congressman who
voted against Morrison's resolution says
he has discovered that this feeling il
quite prevalent in certain sections of the
West and he is apprehensive that if
Morrison shall again make his motion
the result will be different.
It is now known that Randall's plan
is total repeal of the revenue tax,
which would inuolve for the full fiscal
year diminution of receipts by $780,
600, 900, which is ct least 81, ,OOO, 900
more than the expected surplus of the
fiscal year. II appears that . combina.
tlon has been formed among Southern
Democratid Congressman, which is
known among themselves as the South
ern Revenue Reform Organization, and
which dates its formal existence from the
meeting of Congressmen Of Virginia.
North Carolina South Carolina and
George, held here eerly in December,
and of which Mr.. Cabel, of Virginia,
was made Chairman. Its object is to
aid to secure the abolition of the in
ternal revenue tax on tobacco and the
manufacture and use of fruit brandy.
This would effect q repuction in the rev.
enue Of $50, ,0O0, 900, and would be ex.
tremely popular in certain parts OF the
South. This combination has received
considerable accsssious duEing the re-
cess. According TO information which
has been received by an officer of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and its organ.
ization, which is in earnest and
is likely to make itself felt
in future deliberations relative to
the tariff and surplus negotiations
are now said to be pending between the
leaders of this organization and the
Democrats who represent districts in
which great whisky distilliug interests
are located, for the purpose of ascertain
ing if some common basis of action cam
not be agreed upon.

WASHINGTON. January 4.-The Even.
mg Star says: Though the announce.
ment has not been formally made IL is
known that Mr.. Cox of New York, is to
be appointed to ill the vacancy on the
Ways and Means Committee caused by
Mr.. Hewitt's retirement. He is ex-
pected to be Q very active member Of the
committee, of which he may be Chair.
man in the Fiftieth Congress. It is re-
ported thrt he intends to take an ag-
gressive part in trying to bring about
reduction of the revenue this session.
In this it is thought he will act a. .
closer to the President than are any of
the members of the committee. It 10 said
that he has On idea of bringing about .
compromise by which enough votes can
be had to take up the confederation of
the tariff question. He and Mr.. Mills,
of Texas, will be rival candidates for the
Ways and Means Chairmanship in the
Fiftieth Congress, and the result will in.
dieate whether 1t is the intention of the
party to adopt bold and aggressive
tariff policy or one more conciliatory.
If MIR. Cox fails to show pretty good
hand during the two months he will
have been on the Committee this session
Mr.. Mills will probably be before him
in the Fiftieth Congress. If Carlisle is
reelected Speaker, as no one seems to
doubt he will be, in the event of an
extra session, and there is pretty gen.
eral impression now that one may be
called, the appointment of successor to
Mr.. Morrison is not 90 remote. The
organization Of the next House and the
formation Of its policy may begin very
soon after this session ends.
